5 Nutrition Questions Question 1 Please give examples of red meat, white meat and lean meat. Question 2 What is lean body weight and how does it differ from routine measurement? Question 3 Is the combination of drugs sibutramine and orlistat more effective in reducing obesity than using these on their own? Question 4 Why does vitamin B12 deficiency cause glossitis? Question 5 Is a dosage of 2.5mg/day of methyltestosterone, as a component in some multivitamin formulae, safe in the long-term? Question 6 What is the effect of sodium/potassium imbalance on the microminerals? Question 7 What is the role of fluoride in healing? Question 8 In K&C 7e (Box 5.6, p. 239) it states ‘Do not drink [alcohol] during the daytime’. Please explain why this is not recommended. Question 9 Could you please tell me about the aetiology of ‘refeeding syndrome’? Question 10 What is the Atkin’s diet? Question 11 What is meant by bariatric surgical procedures? Question 12 In a patient with marked obesity, is bariatric surgery better than a balloon inserted into the stomach? Question 13 Does intravenous nutrition always have to be given via a central vein? Question 14 Why has there been an explosion of obesity in the young? Question 15 Are proteins mostly absorbed from the intestinal lumen into the blood as amino acids? Question 16 What are ‘congeners’ in alcohol? Question 17 Cholesterol is synthesized in the body. What is the comparative role of diet and endogenous production in the level of serum cholesterol? Question 18 We frequently read of the severe but ‘rare’ side-effect of myositis with statins. Do these drugs have more ‘common’ side-effects? Question 19 Is there a relationship between brain disease and alcohol intake? Does alcohol have a proven toxic effect on the brain? Question 20 What is the difference between malabsorption and malnutrition and how can these be differentiated clinically? Question 21 What are the health hazards of eating smoked foods such as meat or fish? Question 22 What are the benefits of royal jelly (from bees)? Answers Answer 1 • Red meat: beef, lamb. • White meat: chicken, turkey. • Lean meat: ostrich, venison. Answer 2 Lean body mass approximates fat-free mass; it is not used in routine clinical nutrition. There is a formula for its calculation – if you really want it! Answer 3 No; there is no additive effect and there is no interaction between the drugs. The use of sibutramine is suspended in Europe. Answer 4 Vitamin B12 plays a major role in the formation of DNA (see K&C 7e, Fig. 8.12, p. 398). Many epithelial cells show evidence of atrophy, including the tongue – hence the glossitis. Small bowel and stomach are also affected. Only gold members can continue reading.
